The weather in the south of the Alan continent in May is already a little hot, but fortunately, the occasional sea breeze can still drive away the heat.

The vegetation in the central part of the outer defense line of Bien City has been destroyed due to three consecutive days of fighting, and from a distance it looks like the Gobi in the north, and the occasional breeze can always roll up dust and yellow sand. The area of the defensive line, which had the most bloody battles between the two sides, seemed to have been splashed with dark red fuel, and it was a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

The disappointment of the Highland Fortress made the Orcs attack the Central Line even more fierce, and the battle here became more and more difficult day by day, but under the leadership of their commander, Baron Rainer, they managed to hold on.

Originally, it was planned that on the third day of the battle, that is, on May 10, it would be possible to retreat to the next line of defense, but the reinforcements brought by Baron Duru caused Rena to abandon the original plan

Mornings are a rare time to spare, neither worrying about the raids of the orcs at night, nor having to fight with the orcs on the walls.

The orc armies had a habit of never attacking between six and eight in the morning.

The human soldiers would use this time to repair their fortifications, and the whole squad of soldiers, led by the officer, wielding shovels, dodging the tunnels and trenches of the catapults that had been almost damaged in yesterday's battle, were the most important and had to be repaired first.

On the crossbow turret of the most critical crossfire points, the craftsmen are maintaining them at the moment to ensure that they can be used normally in the next day's battle, this is an important defensive fire point, if an accident occurs in the battle, the entire defense line will become extremely difficult, so the craftsmen dare not have a trace of slackness.

On the other side, bundles of crossbow arrows were carried onto the battery by the soldiers.

There were the largest number of soldiers at the city wall, who carried pointed wooden stakes under the leadership of officers.

These things are very useful!

Because there was no time to repair the broken walls, the soldiers would nail the broken places with pointed stakes and then simply paste a layer of mud in front of them, creating a very simple and most foolish trap for the enemy!

This method is a bit insidious, but it works, and the orcs below simply see that when they climb the wall, it is easy to fall, and even if they see danger, there is no way to stop it, because the crowd behind them will also 'push them down'.

At the same time, during this time, the supplies sent by the citizens organized by Viscount Peidi in the rear will also arrive at the front line, and the soldiers will be replaced with new equipment at this time, and the damaged equipment will be transported back to the rear for repair, and will be delivered again at the same time tomorrow.

No matter how strong the sea breeze was, it could not blow away the smell of blood that permeated the city walls, and this smell constantly stimulated the nerves of the soldiers, and they did not dare to slack off!

The recruits have grown into veterans in round after round of attacks, but more often than not, they have become cold corpses.

They did not slack off in the face of heavy labor, and they did not dare to slack off, because they knew that this was an important defense facility to save their lives.

At this time, most of the soldiers did not like to talk.

At this moment, almost all the soldiers are praying to the goddess, and they hope that the orcs will not come again today.

However, the damn sound of the horn and the thunderous war drums still sounded on time, and the officers hurriedly scolded their subordinates to carefully check their weapons and equipment.

The soldiers moved quickly, cursing the orcs in low voices, checking each other's light armor to see if they were wearing sturdy clothes, and they did not dare to slack off, after all, these equipment were the key to survival in the next war.

On the archer's tower at the top of the line, Reiner looked at the slowly advancing orc troops, and she asked Baron Duru next to her, "You should be able to hold it today, right?"

Baron Duru glanced at Reiner, and then at the knights behind him, his mouth tightly closed, obviously not intending to discuss the issue.

He didn't speak, it didn't mean that the others didn't have ideas, and one of the knights said, "We can completely retreat to the next line of defense, so that we can save our combat strength and buy more time." ”

Rena turned her head and glanced at the knight, then shook her head and didn't speak.

Baron Duru looked at the knight and said, "We can't withdraw!"

"Why?" the knight was obviously surprised, he thought that it was the natural stubbornness and naivety of a woman like Rena that made her change her original plan, he did not expect that this Baron Durou, who had won numerous honors in the war, said so.

Baron Duru patiently explained: "Now these soldiers can still fight so bravely, all because we hold this seemingly undefensible position, at this moment, these soldiers are holding a breath in their hearts, it is this breath that supports them to fight to the death with the orcs, if we retreat, this breath in the hearts of the soldiers will immediately relax, I dare to say, to the next defense area, we will face the attack of the orcs again, no matter how solid the defensive measures are, the front will definitely collapse with one blow!"

"So, we can't retreat until we have to!"

Baron Duru looked at the soldiers below with a determined expression, and said to the knights behind him: "Morale is the key to a unit, if you have the opportunity to lead the troops in battle in the future, don't forget this in any way." ”

As they spoke, a thousand-strong team of orc warriors was already charging towards the city wall like a raging wind, followed by rolling stones like meteors in the sky.

"Guys, your troops need commanders!" Rainer interrupted the knights' thoughts.

When the knights heard this, they all reacted and ran to their respective posts as fast as they could.

When the knights arrived at their respective units, the human defenses were soon raining down in color, with ballistas and arrows raining down at the orders of the captains.

But the charging orc warriors did not pause even a little because of this.

After a few rounds of arrows, the Orc Stormtroopers had reached the bottom of the earthen walls, along with the heavy siege towers

"Array, shield!" the human officers roared as they led the soldiers to block the pedals of the orc siege towers.

"Hold the line and pay attention to the force under your feet!"

The walls that had just been dried will be covered with blood again.

Another day of bloody fighting unfolded with the roars of warriors on both sides.

Today, the commander of the Vanguard Legion, the young General Wolfma, personally oversees the battle at the forefront, and is haunted by the missing orc warriors of a thousand men on the side of the Highland Fortress.

Moreover, the news of his unauthorized actions has been known to his father.

But this time, his father did not reproach him, but there was a new order - by the 12th, the vanguard army must reach the city of Byan!

He was a little anxious.
